Sam was born on October 10,1933, in Spirit River to parents, Sam and Mary. He grew up with his brother John on the family farm northwest of Spirit River. Sam had a passion for farming and hauling gravel with his new truck. He eventually went farming full time until he retired. Sam married Catherine Kolotylo in 1958, and together raised their three children on the family farm.
He was an active member in his community and volunteered numerous hours for various groups and committees. Sam enjoyed curling, debating politics, card games, and in his later years golf, although he was not very good at it. He also quite enjoyed it when the grandkids would come visit at the farm.
